Vishay's new surge current limiting PTC thermistor improves the performance of active charge and discharge circuits 1

Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. recently launched a new type of surge current limiting PTC thermistor, which provides significant improvements in the performance of active charge and discharge circuits. This product combines efficient current limiting function with excellent high temperature resistance, providing stronger protection and higher stability for electronic devices.

Design Features and Advantages  diode

The new PTC thermistor adopts Vishay's exclusive polymer positive temperature coefficient (PTC) technology, which can quickly respond to overcurrent situations in the circuit by increasing the resistance value to limit the current and prevent circuit damage. After the current returns to normal, the PTC thermistor can automatically return to a lower resistance state, ensuring the normal operation of the circuit. This feature makes it an ideal choice for protecting active charge and discharge circuits, especially in applications that require frequent charging and discharging.diode
high-temperature environments. By using high-performance materials and optimized design, it can operate stably in environments up to 125 ° C, significantly higher than the upper limit of operating temperature for similar products. This feature makes it particularly suitable for temperature sensitive applications such as automotive electronics, industrial automation, and rechargeable batteries. diode
